Alkimos brothers in brave walk for Telethon

Lucy JarvisNorth Coast Times

On July 2, Scott and his brother Damien (7) did Scott’s Great Walk for Telethon to Southern Cross, where their family has a farm.

It was Scott’s seventh walk and third at a marathon distance, but the first time Damien attempted to walk the full distance too.

“He was setting a cracking pace and was set to smash last year’s time but Damien couldn’t keep up so Scott decided to give up on beating his time and slow down so Damien could finish,” mother Nicole said. “It took them 12½ hours.”
